[here, have a video. It's a smiling, pleasant-looking man in his mid thirties. He has the calm air of someone who has practiced saying this into the camera a few times.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Jarod DiCaprio, and I've recently taken post on board this ship along with a few new wardens. I'll begin serving on board staring just about---[he looks at his watch]---now. That's a good time to start, I think.

I look forward to meeting everyone, and I hope to hear from you soon.

See? This is what I mean. It's none of your fucking business, she's not your inmate, so keep your nose out of it.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Miss Parker is part of my life. You don't have control over what happens to her.

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah. I do. Welcome to the Barge, asshole, this is how things work. You should know that, having signed up for it and all.

Now get your own inmate instead of creeping all over mine.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

You seem to have a lot of assumptions about my relationship with Miss Parker.

It might behoove you to know that her and I have known each other for significantly longer than most people do, and while it may be a complicated thing---

[And now Denise is making talking mouth-gestures with one hand at the camera.]

Blah, blah, blah. Save the bullshit for someone who doesn't have her entire history on-hand, will ya? Christ, "assumptions" my ass. I know aaaaalll about the issues involved, so don't change the subject.

You don't have jurisdiction over her. Don't like that rule? Leave. Nobody's forcing you to keep this job. Otherwise, fucking deal with it like a big boy.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

She frustrates you, doesn't she?

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Hell, you really are new. Everyone frustrates me, and right now? You're looking more and more punchable.

[sympathetically] It must be lonely. Everyone doesn't quite understand.

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Nice try, dipshit, but I know how you work--and we already have a shrink. An actual one.

Give the emo bullshit a rest, too.

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

But you'll never see him. Or her. Because it's easier to assume. When you assume the worst, you're never let down.

I know what that's like.

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

What part of "give the emo bullshit a rest" do you not understand? Do you have a vagina? Are you on the rag?

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

[tactic change, and his tone changes] Considering we both have a vested interest in Parker, why don't you give the tough girl bullshit a rest and work with me, here?

You know what I can do, and you know what I've been and threatening me won't accomplish anything. But, if you work with me, I can make sure your job with Parker is easier.

[private]

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Newsflash: I don't want your help. I want you to leave my inmate the fuck alone. I know your ego might make that hard for you to accept, but you'll get it someday.

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Get this: You don't know anything about me. Quit acting like you do.

But if you're so insecure that you can't handle Parker talking to someone other than you, I guess I've got to work with that.

I don't care what you have to tell yourself to sleep at night--so long as you keep away, that's fine with me. I don't let anyone play sick little mind games with my inmate.

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

What sick games are you afraid I'll play with her?

Doctors and nurses? Cowboys and indians? Escapee and pursuer?

[private]

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

How about writing romance novels about her? Or gifting a stained-glass pic of her, but with a hole where her heart should be? Ooh, or sending that video of the two of you kissing when you were kids?

You're a fucking stalker. Just keep in mind that here, she's got someone looking out for her who can find you and make you hurt for it.

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Kissing when we were kids. Was that back when I was imprisoned in the Centre? Right, yes, I was there for the first thirty years of my life, it would've had to have been.

We're both Wardens here. I'm going to have my own inmate to attend to.

[private]

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

This place supposed is a clean slate for inmates. What she did before she got here is for me to deal with, not anyone else. Just keep the stalking in your world and we'll be fine.

I feel bad for them already.

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

But not a clean slate for Wardens, since you've already got me all worked out.

Are you always this aggressive? Or is it just with people who threaten you?

[private]

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

We weren't dragged here to change.

Always, and you don't threaten me. I'm not worried about myself here, pal.

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

No, we offered ourselves in order to help others. At least, that's what I did.

And you're worried about Miss Parker.

[private]

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

I already caught you trying to sucker in Martha. Parker's my concern, but it looks like everyone else has to watch their backs too, huh?

[private]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

She'd have figured it out on her own. Three interactions at most and she'd have said something. It's the accent that would've thrown her off. You should have more faith in your fellow doctors.

[private]

[gotgirlballs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and just let you fuck with their heads in the meantime? No thanks, champ.
